Seasonal wellness: living in tune with the four seasons

Eastern medicine says: spring births, summer grows, autumn gathers, winter stores — wellness means living with that rhythm.

Spring (Wood – Liver)

A season of growth: relax the liver, move gently outdoors, eat greens, stay easeful; avoid anger.

Summer (Fire – Heart)

Peak yang: nourish the heart, sleep enough, stay cool and hydrated, avoid burnout.

Autumn (Metal – Lungs)

Gathering in: nourish the lungs, stay moist (pear, honey), steady the emotions.

Winter (Water – Kidney)

Storing: keep warm, nourish the kidneys, sleep early, eat warm foods, conserve energy.
